Environment

Novell Client 2 SP1 for Windows File Access
Novell Client for Windows XP/2003 4.91 SP5 File Access
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 3

Situation

Timestamps for files accessed from a DFS jucntion are incorrect when observed through Windows Explorer. For example, a directory listing may appear similar to the following:

Directory of \\company-srv\data1
26817-12-16 20:02 Apps
26817-12-16 20:02 Controlling
9737-02-16 20:00 ProjectOffice
9737-02-16 20:00 REPORTS
2100-02-23 18:06 zenapp

When observing the files in the same directory from the server console, the timestamps are correct.

Resolution

Fixed in updated ncpenc 5.1.5-0.39. This fix became available 19Apr2011 in the OES2SP3 patch channel.
